Toro Packaging SolutionsProduct & Packaging Testing
We focus on developing test procedures that will accurately assess the behavior of a product or packaging, determine possible modifications, and provide highly efficient solutions for a variety of packaging materials including plastics, metals, composites, glass, foams, corrugated products and elastomers.
Variety of Stress Factors
Factors that can significantly affect the functionality of products and packaging include rapid loading rates, varying temperatures, extreme forces, displacement, deflection, acceleration, vibration and cyclic events.
Performance Reliability Safety
Critical to the success of a prodcut or package, we offer a variety of custom services aimed at evaluating these factors, including precision testing for low force and sub-micron displacement, noise and vibration.
Life Cycle Under Extreme Usage
Our engineers can test unique performance criteria on conventional products or standard criteria on unusual designs, including life cycle, life simulation, extreme environment, and extreme usage.
Third Party Testing Services
We provide third party testing services in accordance with API, ASME, ANSI, ASTM and others. Where agency approvals are needed, we can manage outsourcing of those tasks and provide the technical interface.
Mechanical Testing
We conduct a variety of tests on products and packaging for evaluating structural response under various manufacturing line, shipping, distribution, storage, and handling loads.
Physics-Based Insight
Our testing including instrumented drop impact testing, custom test systems, fatigue life testing for polymers, and friction testing to determine failure modes.
Product/Packaging Material Testing
We utilize a wide range of test programs and specialized tools to test and characterize the behavior of materials to establish material behaviors and determine the appropriate materials to use.
High Strain Rate Tensile Testing
Our test machines testing at rates on the order of 10,000% per second, capturing how stress, strain and ductility at failure are affected by high strain rate events, such as drop impact.
Early Candidate Screening
Very early in the development process screen candidate material for a particular design applications, or to develop material models for predicting failure using non-linear finite element analysis methods.
Elastomer High Frequency
Our load/displacement test machine is capable of cycling a test sample up to 100 hertz. One of the most common applications involves testing of elastomers or other polymers subjected to long term cyclic loading.
Biaxial Tensile Testing
Failures in most plastic products occur under multi-axial stress/strain states. The effect of this stress state is to reduce the ductility of the materials, which becomes the limiting load scenario for design.
Melt Flow Testing
Measures a polymer’s viscosity at elevated temperature and is a key specification provided by material manufacturers to identify how easily the material can be processed by injection molding or extrusion.
